Ismael Bardi

Ismael Bardi was an Iraqi policeman from the town of Cheerie in Anbar Governorate, located near the city of Fallujah. Bardi claimed that he had never set foot outside of his home after the Islamic State took over Fallujah in 2014, but the villagers testified that he had been responsible for turning in supposed enemies of the Islamic State, leading to their executions. In June 2016, he was arrested when the government captured Cheerie from the Islamic State, and he was sent to Baghdad for inspection and interrogation.
